▸ WHERE THEY SHARPLY DISAGREED

The three dimensions on which Erwin Schrödinger and Niels Bohr are farthest apart on Mull's 0–10 scale.

  • Trust in ReasonΔ 1 / 10
    Erwin Schrödinger: 8/10
    Niels Bohr: 7/10

    somewhat (1/10): Erwin Schrödinger trusts reasoned argument more strongly than Niels Bohr does.

  • Theoretical DriveΔ 1 / 10
    Erwin Schrödinger: 8/10
    Niels Bohr: 7/10

    somewhat (1/10): Erwin Schrödinger pursues understanding for its own sake; Niels Bohr is more interested in what understanding is for.

  • Universalist ImpulseΔ 1 / 10
    Erwin Schrödinger: 6/10
    Niels Bohr: 5/10

    somewhat (1/10): Erwin Schrödinger reaches for universal moral principles; Niels Bohr weighs particular contexts more heavily.
